This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lev_16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’S lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.
Ver. 9. The goat.] A type of Christ’s mortal humanity, say some, as the scape goat of his immortal deity: or the one of his death, the other of his resurrection. Others are of the opinion that hereby was signified that the deity of Christ dwelling in light inaccessible gave to his humanity sufficient strength for the enduring of those things, which no other creature could have come near, for the full expiating of our sins. So he telleth the Jews first, and afterwards his disciples, "Whither I go ye cannot come." {Joh_8:22; Joh_13:36}
